Reader Kim found a dog Saturday, near Marigold and Thurn:
My son was walking home from a friend's house and found this little dog wandering the streets. He talked to several people in the neighborhood but nobody recognized the dog. We can shelter him for a day or two.
Please email Kim, tlmkbm@earthlink.net if you recognize this dog. Friendly and energetic. Would love to get him back home.
UPDATE 12/4: Doggie has been returned home.

Heartbreaking story, this. Reader Dan emails:
While walking our dogs, we noticed an abandoned cat at a house that has been foreclosed. The cat is very friendly. If you walk up to the house, it runs up to the front door waiting to be let in. We've been feeding it (along with some other neighbors) for the last week waiting for the owners to come get it. It's been a week, so I think this poor guy's on his own. If anyone is interested, go by the house, the cat is usually near the front porch.
The house is at 916 Beverly Way.

A lost dog and a found cat:
Daisy, a small brown and gold 7-year old Yorkie, got away from her family during a walk Sunday. Owner Kathy says:
We were walking her and she got out of her collar. A car came by and scared her so she started running up Fair Oaks north of Loma Alta. We searched and searched for her with no luck. We miss her dearly and want her home.. Small in size.. Short hair cut. Female. No collar. No microchip. Needs meds!!!!
If you can help, call any of the following numbers: 626-318-1008, 626-755-7268, or 626-399-1829.
Meantime, Marianne has found a cat Sunday night on the 1700 block of Braeburn:
Well a black longish haired juvenile cat came walking by the steps of my mother's apartment as me and the kids were leaving. At seeing it, my son carefully grabbed and held it and convinced my mom to keep it the night till we could find its owner. What we have assessed so far: a male very hungry young cat though very soft and clean to be a stray, perhaps somehow lost its home with no micro-chip. He was very grateful to my mom for food, and warm shelter.
Sound like someone you know? Call 626-345-5587.

Can you help? Email to scout76@earthlink.net or call 626-791-6826.

Mary and Les are trying to give a cat a new home:
We posted a found note in August about finding a friendly black kitty on Alta Pine and have been unable to find his owner. We are looking for a home for "Lucky". He is a friendly one year old neutered male. He is playful and fun loving and likes to chase balls and comes when you call him. If anyone would like a fun companion for yourself, a friend or family member please contact Les at 626-233-2009.
He will truly make a loving pet.
And there's a wandering pitbull, last seen today at Marengo and Poppyfields:
Chain collar, no visible tags. Westbound on Las Flores, then south on Marengo. Came over to my car for pet on head but did not get in car. Med. to large size. Black ears, white throat and neck, feet--tannish- brown body. Saw about 9:40 AM.

We have info on two cats away from home:
Kelly, who lives in the President Streets neighborhood, says "my cat has been missing since yesterday and she requires thyroid medication daily. She is about ten years old, brown and black blotchy coat, slender build, long hair, white paws and white tuft on her chest. My contact numbers are 626.794.6500 (home) and323.328.0602 (cell). And Karen writes:
My cat's name is Mix and she's been missing since Sep 25. She's a very small Calico cat (orange, black and white). She's an indoor cat that fell outside in a freak accident when the screen fell out of the window as she was leaning against it. I had just gone to bed and was half asleep. I didn't realize what had happened soon enough to make it outside to rescue her.If anyone has seen her or knows someone who rescued her, I can be contacted at 626-398-8732.
UPDATE 10/11: Kelly's cat, Kizmit, has been found:
After nearly three painful days of hearing faint untraceable cries from a cat near by, the cries were eventually heard by the neighbor whose garage attic she had gotten stuck in, as she is an avid mouser but not the most agile. She (Kizmit) is safe at home with us finally and all is well, Thank you Timothy Rutt and all those that read the Altadenablog.

A friend asked us to help find a home for this friendly lab/pit mix. Her name is Diamond, presumably from the white marking on her chest. We are told she has been spayed and has her shots.

Reader Lisa says:
Today, I found this lost dog hiding under my neighbor's car on Colman Street near El Molino Avenue. He is a male chihuahua and is scared and will not come out.
I will have to call Animal Control unless someone claims him. Or, does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get the dog to come out on his own? When I try to get him out he barks and growls at me.
Is this your dog -- or do you have any ideas how to get him out? Call Lisa at (626) 864-3615.

My sweet pure white cat with bright blue eyes and medium length hair, who is DEAF, wandered away ... Somehow he must have gotten a taste for adventure and sneaked out. He is very pretty and quite unusual looking. I am concerned that someone might have thought he was a stray. We have several cats and two dogs and love our animals. Teddy was not wearing a tag because he is not supposed to be outside! He lives on Meadowbrook between Sinaloa and Allen. Timmy is his red-headed brother who IS tagged and who everyone blocks away knows and loves. My cell no is 626 398 3423.

One of our readers sent a message about a year-and-a-half old bull terrier mix they rescued:
This beautiful, clean, white and brown lost dog came to our home tired and afraid on a mid-July day. We looked for his family and found no one. He was examined and vaccinated by a vet and is in excellent health. We also had him neutered. We have found true love with his joyful demeanor, but have too many dogs at home. He walks smartly on a leash ang gets along with everyone he meets. Also plays well with other dogs. The next heart he wins over could be yours.

One of the things we hate most are those screening programs, where we respond to an email and get a message that says something like "to control spam, we only reply to pre-approve email addresses" or something like that, which says no, we're not accepting your email.
This is a cautionary tale of how it can go wrong.

I found a male chow wandering down Altadena Drive about a 1/2 mile up from the Eaton canyon entrance. He had a choke collar but no tags. I walked the neighborhood for a bit looking for a frantic owner but had no luck.He is well behaved, groomed, clean teeth and has nice pads. Im sure he wasn't out to long. With the heat as it is, I took him home to give him a safe, cool place to wait for his owners.Can you put a posting up to help me find his people?361.728.7399 is my cell

We decided to handle this thru email -- but both party's email addresses rejected our response. So we're handling it online. One of you needs to call the other and get Rocky home!

There's a black and white cat stuck way up in a big oak tree on the north side of Wapello just a few houses east of Marengo. Apparently he or she has been up there for days. I caught a glimpse of her/him the past couple of days but mostly I've just heard distressed meowing whenever I walk by. Anyone missing a black and white cat? Anyone have any ideas about getting her/him down? I've knocked on the neighbor's door but I haven't gotten any response.

Dog days seem to have come early:
First, reader Dawn tell us:
I just saw 2 adult Australian cattle dogs roaming around Loma Alta park. They were together one had a collar with a broken lead or tie and other had no collar. I tried to entice them to come to me so check for tags, but they would not come near. They were running out on to Lincoln in front of cars. The last I saw them they were on the baseball field. I called animal control for fear that they would get hurt.
Next, another reader says they found a lost dog Saturday afternoon in the Porter/Homewood area. Very sweet, picture to the right. If you can help, call Joe at 626-660-8733.

Reader Steven tell us:
I live in Altadena and found a lost dog running around my front yard Wednesday night (Jul 18). It is a grey/brown pit bull with a white mark on its face/head. The dog did not have a tag, but did have a small spiked collar and pink harness. I have been posting a few handwritten signs around my street, but so far has not gotten any calls. I’ve seen the owner walk this dog once or twice before and she is a blonde lady maybe in her mid- to late thirties. I live on E. Las Flores.
A picture of the dog has been attached. Hopefully someone who knows this dog comes forward soon as I am not able to keep this dog.

Reader Sharon has found a sick dog:
I found a dog on Olive near Marigold around 7:30PM tonite (Friday), looks like a white or yellow lab or retriever. He seems very ill or perhaps just dehydrated. Has some large growths on his right side and lame rear legs or feet. I brought him to my house so he is safe for now. He refuses water and food.
The dog has tags, and I have tried to call the owner plus the number on the animal license to see if they can look up the owner. Got voicemail for both.
Does anybody recognize this dog? Please contact me at 626.833.2555 if you have any information.
Update: Dog is back home.

Readers Sue and Tom email about a doggie who's had a sad journey already:
Early Friday morning (29 July) a very sweet male, gray and white pit bull terrier-type dog was abandoned in our neighborhood not once but twice: he was first spotted at 6 AM tied to the bridge over the debris basin on East Loma Alta, and by 7am he had been moved to the Eaton Canyon bridge where some kind pit bull sympathizers rescued him and took him to the Pasadena Humane Society. This guy is a big love and would make a fantastic buddy (like most pitties) if you can find room in your heart and home for this happy guy. His id number at the Humane Society is A308906.
UPDATE: We've added his picture, sent by Sue.

This one looks like somebody misses him (or her) ...
My hubby was at our vet when someone brought this dog in to check for a microchip (none found)… found at Loma Alta Park around 5 p.m. today. Please contact gbaerg@gmail.com if you know of anything… we have the details on where the dog is staying!

Reader Greg needs to find a home for this pooch:
I found a super-sweet mixed breed dog named Lily running around our neighborhood near Farnsworth Park this morning. It turns out she belonged to someone who passed away; since then, Lily had been staying with a friend of the former owner at times, migrating between houses and running loose much of the time.
I wanted to foster Lily so she isn't in danger of being hit by a car or attacked by another dog. Unfortunately, our little dog Tulip isn't Lily's biggest fan and we also aren't sure how Lily is with cats (and would rather not find out with one of our cats in her mouth.) We cannot manage her at this time, so a neighbor is continuing to help - but she cannot keep Lily.
This is my long-winded way of saying: If you are looking for a very loving dog with energy and spirit, Lily could be your soulmate. She's about 50-60 lbs (definitely too plump for her size - she's probably been eating at multiple houses!), younger (2yrs?), grey with a white flame on her chest, probably some pit/American Staffordshire or maybe boxer in her mix. She knows a few basic commands - sit, lay down, come - and she is gentle with people, rolling over to have her belly rubbed and happily sitting at your feet. She also loves to play with other dogs, but bigger is probably better - she's like a freight train in play and will knock a smaller dog over (as Tulip found out the hard way.) She has energy, so she needs someone who can walk her, play with her, and give her some structure. If we could, we would keep her. She is undeniably lovable and a good dog through and through.
Please let us know if you are interested, and if you could, please share this note. We really want to find her a good home. She has already known love and a family and deserves to have it again.
Call or email Greg: 608-320-9181 or greg@lozano-buhl.com

Reader Tanya and her husband have found a fresh new kitten, and ... well, let her tell it:
I think mama got scared by our dog and has abandoned kitten #2. We checked in on it and it just keeps crying. This has been since about 4 PM today. We read something that says they need to eat every 3 hours and if they are young (as this one is) they need help with bowel movements. We can still hear it peeping, so we have hope that if someone can take this little one on, it may have a chance!
We're both highly allergic (our minimal contact with the area has already left us both itching and sneezing) so we're crossing our fingers that a kind neighbor can help the little guy (or girl). ... I wish Humane Society could take it, but they said anything under 2 lbs is euthanized. Our estimation is that this one is about a week old. It's eyes are still shut and it'll need help feeding and doing its business.
Thanks for your response. I am hoping something pans out.
UPDATE: Some good soul has adopted the kitten, and at Tanya's request, we've removed her contact information, because good people keep calling her offering to help!
